The BuffetGo app wants to change these horrifying statistics by making it easier for restaurants to make use of leftover uneaten food, all while connecting families in need with food they can afford.

How does it work?

Users search by zip code to find buffets that sell unsold food for up to 90% off. They use the app to pay for their meal, then go to pick up the food around closing time. That’s a win-win for everyone, right?

"The foods prepared in the last hour are perfectly fresh and untouched but sadly due to restaurant regulations, unsold food must be thrown out."

The app, founded in 2014, is now available to use in eight countries, including the United States. Mobile operations in America aren’t up yet, but users can still log on to their website to access the service.

Oh, and get this: Your money is going to a good cause. BuffetGodonates 20 percent of every purchase to the United Nations World Food Programme.
